Circa Survive – Dyed in the Wool Lyrics 15 years ago
I agree that it is, "*you* understand". So, this is a reworked version of "The More You Get, the Less You Are", right? Does anyone know why it is called, "Dyed in the Wool"?? Regardless, it is a spectacular song, and I like the opening instrumental (Compendium).

Trophy Scars – Bad Winter Lyrics 16 years ago
can someone explain to me what this means:

Fragments of my wrist watch
Keeping time away from you
Is the only time worth telling
So I can ask my youth

Trophy Scars – Alligator. Alligators. Lyrics 17 years ago
I believe Darts to the Sea is focused around Rachel, and A.A. is more about Liz.

If you look at the lyrics for "Good Luck" it mentions is first true lover (Rachel) leaving him, and then Jerry moves to New York. The Bronx (in NY of course) is mentioned in this song, and it says later in "Good Luck", 'I met the girl of my dreams and she helped me survive' (This would be talking about meeting Liz while in NY)

In conclusion, I believe Jerry has had two major relationships, first being Rachel (Darts-Goodnight Alchemy), and Liz (Alphabets).

Of course, I am not 100% of this.

Trophy Scars – El Cowboy Rojo Lyrics 17 years ago
*(corrections)- Damn, I couldn't believe it
I run my mouth dry, then I try to feed it
The thought could give me an ulcer
But the truth of the matter is I'd love to meet her

*(corrections)-I couldn't believe the sin was conceived, the culprit was me
Christina was sweet but trite naive, she wasn't for me
No doctors degree, no clean history, no small crooked teeth
My precious baby Anna, if only I could tell ya, I was sorry it was never worth it
After the sex we cleaned up our mess then we got dressed
Christina said, "Please, don't write or call me."
I grinned and agreed.
Anna arrived on Monday night with tears in her eyes
She said, "I ain't your fucking baby, tell me I am crazy,
I know just what happened. Hope you're fucking happy."

*(corrections)- I can still smell the salt and the sex in your *breath*

*(corrections)- So help me God if I catch you alive.
You burned me so bad that I can't even cry.
Pack up everything that you plan to keep
I'm heading for the bar and I'm having some drinks...

those lyrics are straight from the booklet. :) Good song.

Trophy Scars – Years So Much Lyrics 17 years ago
I'm wondering whether the 'fall' that takes place in this song represents the figurative fall mentioned in other Trophy Scars songs. i.e. "Jerry's the Name...", "Lesson 3", "Botanicas". Maybe this whole concept story is suppose to represent Jerry's ex-relationship, but of course with a crazy storyline to make it more exciting.

Can anyone confirm if Jerry cheated on Rachel? and/or if they were married?
